Of course, during the whole March, some counties and attacked cards sent cavalry to Nanjing to inform them.
But no matter how fast they are, they can’t be faster than one man and two horses.
So it took the infantry ten days to finish the road, and the cavalry division only finished it in four days.
In the face of the mighty wall of Nanjing City, the cavalry division did not show up. Only a small number of scouts were sent to monitor Nanjing City’s every move. After that, more than 5,000 cavalry Ma Yinglian units were ten miles away from Nanjing City to form an invisible encirclement.
After that, whether they wanted to enter Nanjing or come up with Nanjing was detained by these cavalry.
The imperial court and Chongzhen did not receive the information of the first army of Tiger and Leopard Army. Wang Feng personally commanded the main force of the first army and finally met Luo Jingshan, the commander of the cavalry division.
Seeing Wang Feng Luo Jingshan nervous for several days, he finally relaxed and then said with a face of anxiety, "The commander, you have finally come … If you come one day later, the cavalry division will be finished …"
Luo Jingshan, the commander of the First Cavalry Division of Tiger and Leopard Army, has always shown such a nervous expression. It can be said that it is the first time that Wang Feng has known him.
The Luo Jingshan words just say that finish Wang Feng face a puzzled expression and then directly ask "what? And cavalry division finished … At the end of the day what makes you so worried … "
Wang Feng watched the bombing of Luo Jingshan and quickly answered, "Even in the case of martial law in Nanjing, there are thousands of people entering and leaving the city gate every day … In order to completely turn the court blind and prevent a little news from flowing into Nanjing for a few days, we have detained more than 20,000 people of all kinds …"
"What’s more important is that our detention for a few days has attracted the attention of the new army guarding the city … just an hour ago, we just captured a team and went out to see the new army of the imperial court …"
"If we continue to find out according to this situation, even if we detain tens of thousands of people and don’t riot, the defenders of Nanjing will find us because of this unusual column …"
I heard that Wang Feng’s puzzled expression on her face has been covered with dignity unconsciously.
Because of this accident, a large part of it is caused by my original consideration of the problem.
But fortunately, I kept urging the troops to get here two days before the emergency March.
Otherwise, the development of the whole situation will definitely exceed our expectations.
So a happy smile for the rest of my life followed by Wang Feng’s face.
Directly to the Luo Jingshan said, "Mr. Luo doesn’t blame you … it’s all about thoughtless things … but now that we’re here, our main force has no such worries …"
"But you these concerns will also give a wake-up call to think of a way to weaken the Nanjing garrison as much as possible …"
Chapter nine hundred and twenty-one Can’t fathom us
A new army, Qian Zong, is looking at a road outside the city with a full face of anxiety. What is it?
However, to his disappointment, he waited and searched for hours without finding the department he wanted to see.
It turned out that it was this guarding city Qian Zong who saw that no one had gone into town for several days and felt so unusual. Then, on the prudent side, he sent a total of 50 elder brother soldiers to take the initiative to go out of the city to see if there was something outside the city that he didn’t know was an accident.
According to the original agreement, no matter whether there is something outside Nanjing, fifty soldiers must go back on their word after leaving Nanjing for 20 miles.
But now, it’s been more than five hours since the morning when fifty departments left Nanjing, and it’s almost dark, and no trace of them has been found …
You know, it’s five hours … If you don’t say too much for such a long time, you’ll have to go back and forth in forty miles, and even worse, in twenty miles.
As it gets darker and darker, the road outside the city still doesn’t appear, and the anxious expression on the face of General Manager Bu Qian becomes more intense.
At this moment, Deputy Qian Zong suddenly said, "Even if Wang Ba Zong encounters any accident, adults will send someone back to report to us … but now we have no news from them … At the end, they will definitely be in trouble …"
"I also have this bad feeling …" Frowning Qian always nodded and answered with a worried face …
"Is to let the officer can’t think of what will happen to them? Want to know Wang Ba always brought fifty musketeers … Even if there is any attack, it is impossible for Ma Jun to fall … Without the fall of the army, someone will escape from the battlefield and report to us what happened to them on the battlefield … "
"But now there is no news … according to my idea, we sent these people to be either destroyed or captured and no one escaped … otherwise it is absolutely impossible to have no news at all …"
Vice thousand always fierce one leng one face incredible asks "fighters fifty elite musketeers … how is it possible … across the south of the Yangtze River, there are butch army guerrillas who have this ability … but here is the butch army guerrillas who have no activities around the capital south of Nanjing …? Don’t butch army guerrillas have touched around Nanjing … "
Qian Zong didn’t answer directly, but asked with a serious face, "Otherwise, what do you think? In addition to the guerrillas, who else can make our fifty musketeers disappear sadly … "
Speaking of which, Qian Zong’s dignified expression has been unconsciously covered by seriousness, and then he decided decisively that "this matter is too big for us to handle … If there are guerrillas outside the city, it will be big … I want Ma to report to the company commanders and ask them to come up with a decision …"
Not far from the gate tower, the Chinese army stationed in the military camp unexpectedly set up the center of the military camp.
At this moment, with a face of worry, Mr. Qian is reporting his actions and worries of the day directly to the company commander of the 10,000 new army.
Like the deputy commander at that time, the company commander’s first reaction after hearing the guerrillas was not to believe it.
But it didn’t take long for the company commander’s face to show a trace of heartfelt concern and dignity.
Because he couldn’t think of any enemies around Nanjing, where the imperial court was stationed, he could easily wipe out fifty musketeers.
After some meditation, the military forces always make a decision cautiously. "From now on, all the soldiers of our army defending the city wall should be cautious to prevent the enemy from sneak attack … The number of soldiers patrolling at night should be doubled …"
"But we can’t just rely on the disappearance of fifty musketeers to assume that there must be butch army guerrillas outside the city … It’s prudent to decide to transfer one thousand musketeers out of the city early in the morning and investigate 20 miles along the official road … If you really meet butch army guerrillas, you can’t destroy them and return to Nanjing, but you must find out the specific scale of the guerrillas outside the city and send someone to report back to the city every half an hour …"
Early the next morning, 1,000 musketeers left Nanjing in a mighty manner.
Although the 1000 musketeers were very cautious, more than 50 scouts were sent around.
However, regardless of their caution, their situation was sent to Wang Feng for the first time.
Of course, more than a dozen division heads gathered in Zhongjun’s big account early in the morning also heard the news.
Then a dozen pairs of hot eyes seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time they reached Wang Fengshen.
Obviously, these division heads all want to bite the first piece of fat that troops encounter when they go out to war.
Wang Feng, the commander of the army, of course, knew what was on everyone’s mind, and after some hesitation, he directly said, "You all know the idea … If you want to consume the Nanjing imperial garrison bit by bit through this tactic, the key and most important thing is to make the Nanjing garrison unable to understand our situation … Only in this way will they continuously send troops to spy on us, and we will have a steady stream of fat to eat outside Tibet …"
"It is very important to sing this drama well and eat this thousand imperial army cleanly …"
Everyone in Wang Feng dialect saw that Wang Feng had already opened his mouth, and the teachers of the first division were eager to well-documented and said, "The commander of this 1,000 imperial army is my first division … I promise not to let loyalist slip through the net and destroy their department here …"
After Wang Bo, the division commander, finished speaking, his two divisions quit. One by one, they well-documented Wang Feng, trying to get the meritorious military service into their own hands.
"Why do you first division … my second division can also …"
"Commander, my third division can do it … Give this to my third division?"
Department can be so eager Wang Feng or very induction.
But there is a piece of fat after all.
After some meditation, Wang Feng directly decided, "Plan according to our ideas. In a few days, there will be a second piece and a third piece … more and more fat will be sent to us … so don’t fight for a teacher for this …
"Today, let the first division eat this fat meat and then leave it to the second division and the third division to eat …"
Chapter nine hundred and twenty-two The problem is serious
More than 7,000 soldiers of the first division of Tiger and Leopard Army played against 1,000 musketeers of the new imperial army, and the result was in doubt.
Only muskets and grenades killed 1000 musketeers.
More than 600 musketeers died directly, and more than 300 musketeers were captured … To see the true face of the first army, an external example of the court’s new army musketeers was left at the scene.
A thousand musketeers had just left the city, and they always felt a little uneasy. The company commanders boarded the tower and waited for the troops out of the city to bring them the latest news.
The short-lived gun and grenade explosion in the battlefield outside the city was clearly heard by the company commander.
A battle-hardened veteran company commander didn’t visit the battlefield in person.
However, a general estimate of the explosion density of guns and grenades can still be made by the company commander.
As soon as the secret gun stopped, the company commander’s brow wrinkled quickly. Not only was it so dignified, but it also came to the company commander’s face … "
More than a dozen ministries had to watch at the same time with a worried face. "There are at least 3,000 enemy troops outside the city, and all of them are equipped with musketeers … No wonder the 50 musketeers we left the city yesterday were quietly wiped out by them …"
As soon as the company commander’s judgment was uttered, a deep expression of concern appeared on the company commander’s face.
Then he asked with a worried face, "General, there are so many enemies … but we only have 1,000 musketeers when we are out of town … What’s more important is that the fighting guns stopped so soon. Has our brother who is out of town been …"
"Certainly not …" The company commanders answered firmly without thinking.
But that being said, the company commanders have already started to worry in their hearts.
Because according to my own judgment, even if the battle just now was an enemy attack on the troops who left the city and then retreated after several rounds of musket shooting, the troops who left the city should pursue it, at least they should have counterattack guns.
But now I haven’t even heard a little counter-attack gun, which has to make the company commanders worry about their troops leaving the city.
However, what I know about the fighting outside the city is that I can continue to wait.
However, the company commanders didn’t expect him to wait for two or three hours …
Until it began to get dark, the company commanders held on to the tower and never saw the troops leaving the city.
At this time, the bad feeling in the general soldier’s heart becomes stronger.
